About Kung Fu

The correct translation of the word Kung Fu refers to a high level, specific skill that few people actually attain. It is more apt to talk about about someone who has a ‘Kung Fu’ – an attainment.

In this light ‘Kung Fu’ is a general term defined as the mastery of an art, method, accomplishment or a difficult task through highly concentrated effort. The proper Chinese word used to describe martial arts is Wushu (Military Arts). The two main styles of Traditional Wushu taught at the Chinese Martial and Arts Centre are Chang Quan and Hong Quan.
